    Mexican oysters aren't they?

    Close. I've heard that the Mexicans call them huevos, although if that's true then the local breakfast shop is doing a brisk trade in them. You can batter fry almost anything and make it taste like... batter.

    Bah, they enjoy them raw here. Raw, fried lightly in olive oil, fried heavily in olive oil (until it resembles a piece of coal), grilled lightly, grilled heavily (until it resembles a piece of coal). Personally, I can't stomach the sight of them. Walking into the butcher's shop, with a dozen or so dangling from the hook, swinging in the breeze.

      "huevos" is a general term for "balls" as far as I've been educated. You hear the phrase, "That guy has a set of huevos on him!" Rocky Mountain Oysters are typically bull balls in the US.

        I haven't, but its a local thing here. The local restauranteers are hoping that it'll catch on like sheesha/hubbly-bubbly and falafel.

        They're not exactly a delicacy, but not quite a staple either. Its quite common.

        Rocky Mountain Oyster feeds are common in some places such as Colorado, but more often than not people eat them as a dare.

          OK - right now, Tom Parker Bowles is cooking pig on Gordon Ramsey's F Word (he's using ALL of the pig). Did he really need to tell the audience he was about to boil "the testicles and the brain" as well as grinding up "the arseholes and the eyes". OK - if I didn't have such a strong stomach then I'd now be a vegetarian.

          The funny thing about vegetarians is almost to a man they don't have the slightest fucking idea how to cook vegetables. At least every one I've ever met, all my veggie friends and every vegetarian recipie I've ever come across.

                    I had sheep brain once. Crunchy and pretty nice, once you get past a whole brain sitting in the middle of a table and your mom saying "I'm sure it's lovely." Not had testicles yet though. Mexican oysters aren't they?

                    "Never had testicles", have you never eaten a pork pie?

                      well I was once told that with a pig the only thing you can't eat is the squeak, and then there's "bubble 'n squeak".

                        Yep, which always seemed to send mixed signals to me, since huevos means eggs. I don't know if any other culture made that comparison. But you don't hear Japanese saying "Kare no tamago wo mite".
